I'd like to be clean-shaven 'down there' for my gf, but am quite hairy around the lower part of my penis and my scrotum and rather nervous about going there with a razor. Can anyone recommend a blade or gel that gets the job done, or even a hair removal cream, although as far as I'm aware, they're not recommended for use around the genital area?

I've used King of Shaves shaving oil as well as various gels but none of them were great for me, I think I'm just incredibly prone to shaving bumps and have rather sensitive skin. Legs are fine but more intimate areas needed something else. Then Cazz sent me the intimate shaver sold on Lovehoney to test, it's brilliant! You use it dry and it gives me a closer shave than razors do and for me at least has completely removed shaving bumps and ingrown hairs. Of everything I've bought from Lovehoney it gets used the most which does rather amuse me!

Granted wax would be closer and last longer but I can't bring myself to endure the pain down there or the embarrassment of having it done at a salon.

I think the original question was about shaving your face, unless I'm mistaken. I use Palmolive cream with a really cool shaving brush my wife gave me. I use a Mach 3 razor cause I reckon they're the best.

I've used king of shaves oil in the past but I stooped using it because I've sensitive skin and it burned my face. I also broke out in spots if I remember correctly. It was very good but didn't suit me.

Well, the subject title was just 'Shaving' and didn't specify any place in particular and since it was listed under the 'Sex Tips & Talk' section, I think it would be quite easy to construe as referring to areas slightly below the face.
Or is it just me?

I was thinking about getting an epilator because my hair grows back after a few days and it's frustrating.

I use an epilator but have mixed results. I like it on my armpits- it really does get rid of everything and is very smooth, but on my legs it just gave me bumps and was far too easy to miss fine hairs.

So I epilate my armpits, shave my legs, but get waxed "down there". I know people say they're too embarrassedtoget it done, but after the first time it's fine (and you end up talking to them about the most random things). OK, so it stings a bit, but the more you do it the finer the hair gets, and there really is nothing like a proper Brazilian done by a professional...oh how I love being smooth all the way round ;-)

King of Shaves is a good brand and have used the oil. Though since stubble/beard is all the rage still, don't bother to clean-shave. Try a good beard-trimmer - cheap, and you can get down to 0.5mm, and easy on the skin.

I would recommend coconut oil for pretty much anything (including shaving!). Ok, it's not particularly cheap but it is 100% natural and doesn't leave any bumps or rashes. It is naturally antibacterial as well. My partner and I use it for shaving as well as a lube with toys, anal, vaginal, pretty much anything goes! It lasts ages, it's totally edible (we also use it in cooking as it is super healthy). Massage oil, hair conditioner...there's thousands of uses. I could go on but you get the picture...it's bloody brilliant!

Magicnumber69 i use a Mach 5 Turbo razor and King Of Shaves sensitive gel,for both face and scrotum,penis with no trouble,i find it easier to soak in a hot bath then drain the water so that when lying down your bits are above the waterline.It is much easier to shave those parts lying down from my experience.Nice smooth shave with no nicks!
